Research shares with us that leadership development programs are rare in many organizations. Yet, research also shares with us the importance of leadership development programs.

First, research and share why leadership development is important and outline four reasons why an organization should invest in leadership development.

Next, research and share at least two problems or challenges with leadership development?

Finally, review section 9-8c in the textbook, (which I have attached) select one of the leadership development strategies, share why the strategy is important to the topic, and best practices to implement the strategy?

We must utilize one peer-reviewed journal article and the textbook to support our discussion.
